Book Barcode Creation

DiggyPOD can create a barcode with a price built right into it. We
charge $25 for this service and it includes placing the barcode on the
back cover of the book as well.

When you buy your ISBN, do not buy the optional barcode. Most book
barcodes that you buy will be in an .eps format that only can be used
in high end page layout programs like Adobe Creative Suite. If you try
to place the .eps file into word processing programs like Microsoft
Word, the barcode will become a low resolution graphic which will not
be readable by scanners.

It costs
the same price for DiggyPOD to create a barcode as it does
for DiggyPOD to place a customer-supplied barcode on the back cover of
the book. Save yourself $25 when you purchase your ISBN number by
having DiggyPOD create and place the barcode for you.

Please note, the self-publishing author must supply DiggyPOD with the
ISBN number. DiggyPOD does not sell ISBN numbers. Please review our
ISBN number information for
self-publishers to learn more about them.

What Size Should My Barcode Be?

Barcodes can range in size, but the minimum size is 2" wide by 1" high.
When you lay out the back cover artwork of your book, make sure to keep
a minimum of 2" x 1" white space for the barcode placement. We will place
the ISBN barcode we create for you in the space provided in your artwork.
